  • echelovegood valhaentina🌙 (@echelovegood) reported

    I finally logged into #Overwatch2 only to find out I can't play most heroes because they're locked? That's kinda weird since I had Overwatch. Weirdest thing is that I can see all the cosmetics I had, but can't play the hero. Anyone else has this issue? @PlayOverwatch

  • vixxsin_ 🥀Jodie🌹 (@vixxsin_) reported

    I didn't attempt to get into Overwatch 2 even once last night. Do I dare try this morning considering the DDOS attacks and the issues people are having with their progression not carrying over?

  • TableTopRamen LoliRamen (@TableTopRamen) reported

    @PlayOverwatch I know this is a known issue but I haven’t received any of my cosmetics or level or anything from overwatch 1, just tweeting this so I can be assured I will get my stuff eventually and not be shafted.

  • Ninsio66 Ninsio 🍀🎃 👻 (@Ninsio66) reported

    @azuralikespatd I'm an overwatch login error gamer now

  • detoxfire ahewann enthusiast 💜 (@detoxfire) reported

    damn four years of stalling on a game that should've just been multiple updates over those years and blizzard can't even fix their own servers for overwatch 2 lmao how's that watchpoint pack feeling, ya clowns

  • usaworldsays1 usaworldsays (@usaworldsays1) reported

    Other launch problems include missing cosmetics, lost match records, and problematic cameras. For a large-scale live service game launch, strange failures are typical. However, Overwatch 2 being the target of a cyberattack is not as frequent.

  • Detivs Detivs (@Detivs) reported

    @PlayOverwatch @battlenet Ive done ithe proof of residency and everything and when i sumbit it says error ok goodbye overwatch forever

  • KZXcellent ※KZ 🗝️ (@KZXcellent) reported

    I figured servers would fix themselves at 3AM and was correct. I'm a couple matches deep into Overwatch 2 and this feels pretty nice. At the very least Roadhog feels infinitely better in 2.

  • usaworldsays1 usaworldsays (@usaworldsays1) reported

    Unfortunately, you can't just launch Overwatch while you wait for the DDoS onslaught to end. Overwatch 2's limited live service progression for character unlocks left several critics cold, albeit they seemed to enjoy the game's actual gameplay.

  • NotHAR13Y sploogegodlover911 (@NotHAR13Y) reported

    overwatch still has a lot of issues dont bother downloading 😭😭

  • MilaCatBat Mila Vampire 🦇👠 Goth Mommy Vtuber 🔞 (@MilaCatBat) reported

    I have lots of vision problems but I thought atleast I wasn't colorblind - until I played overwatch 2 Some of the sounds are absolutely disgusting too - did they have no testers with visual impairments or misofonia in the team???

  • DeadestOne deadestOne (@DeadestOne) reported

    ngl overwatch 2 ain’t that bad when u get to play it, its very fast. Only problem is everything being too flashy and loud, sounds are quite confusing

  • SynisterX_G Matthew Ireland-Peers (@SynisterX_G) reported

    @BlizzardCS having trouble with overwatch 2, I'm joining games getting less than half way through then getting kicked in the middle of gun-fights

  • usaworldsays1 usaworldsays (@usaworldsays1) reported

    Learn more about how DDoS attacks operate and why it's so difficult to stop them.The original Overwatch, which just saw its servers go offline after six years, is completely being replaced by Blizzard's new free-to-play shooter.

  • Yorozuyajose 🍀Jose🐣| CR: KoT (@Yorozuyajose) reported

    considering this is my 1st time playing overwatch I had a good time the server issues was an issue but I'm sure that will get fixed soon

  • Jonas16885222 Jonas (@Jonas16885222) reported

  • shadowsakuma Derek (@shadowsakuma) reported

    @PlayOverwatch Nevermind the server issues and the old skins for Overwatch 1 being glitches. Why is my Watchpoint Pack and my Starter Pack: Season 1 not working?! I didn't pay $45 to not be able to get my content.

  • DAIREE_VT DAIREE || Flower Oni 🔞🌼 (@DAIREE_VT) reported

    So with the not 1 but 2 DDOS's on overwatch 2 I'm going to swap out tonight's second game to something dunno what yet so im open to suggestions

  • G0DLink GodLink (@G0DLink) reported

    @r3v115 It's a known issue check out the overwatch twitter for more info im in the same case

  • Kieran123456787 Kieran Turner (@Kieran123456787) reported

    @BlizzardCS Is it a known issue for overwatch one players to have blank accounts, im not talking about a few missing skins i literally have nothing and its making me play the tutorial, my career profile is empty and so on

  • ShadowDragonOG_ ShadowDragonOG (@ShadowDragonOG_) reported

    @BlizzardCS I had bought the watch point pack for overwatch back in July and when I login on overwatch 2 it shows that I didn’t buy it at all is this a bug that’s going on

  • Keretko Šimon Heštera (@Keretko) reported

    @PlayOverwatch Why i can t login in to my ps4 account on overwatch to ps5 overwatch 2?

  • _programmingDad Bensh (@_programmingDad) reported

    @krizko5 @Qwik Also important to note is that overwatch later start from its official account, that the problems are mostly on users who merged their accounts. Why would a DDoS attack only involve those accounts and not all?

  • MRensnen Snowwolf_ow (@MRensnen) reported

    @aaronkellerOW @PlayOverwatch bro what the hell ovewrwatch 1 servers didnt got ddos attacked on game launch but overwatch 2 servers got ddos attacked bruh moment

  • Pbness2 Pb&Jolly (@Pbness2) reported

    @StarPow4 @NikoVixoLIVE ...This isn't something to be proud of. I'd say Splatoon is even worse than Overwatch. While this is one instance of communication errors,Nintendo, and Splatoon especially, they're constant and interrupt the experience of that game. I have played Splatoon 1,2,and now 3. It's bad.

  • DieseRebel your local daddy lord mit blume (@DieseRebel) reported

    oh damn, you can get in into overwatch 2 with no issues. Almost feels like it's not the actual game... Being actually able to play it

  • DoodRun Doodrun (@DoodRun) reported

    @shubshub11 @Qwik There was also a significant lack of mentions of this DDOS attack on the Overwatch AND on the Blizzard support twitters. Real DDOS or not, the least they could do is communicate on channels people expect info to be at >.>
